the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025.
There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

Ethnic cleansing; imperialism; flat out lunacy. Oh yeah, hanging with a Neo-Nazi in Vegas.
On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.
“I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

“it’s not a better model, it’s only as good as OpenAI’s best model”
the sleight of hand here is that o1 *is* much better than OpenAI’s best model from 6 months ago, therefore so is Deepseek R1. this is inconvenient for ed, who insists model quality is a fiction because it’s all useless anyway

DeepSeek has a free website and mobile app even for U.S. users with an R1-powered chatbot interface similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT.

It’s clear which of my friends still use X by how crazed they are by the bullshit right wingers are spewing. Misinformation is actively harming people who are grieving and also disaster efforts.
